<p>The purpose of this paper is to examine different methods of creditworthiness assessment and bankruptcy prediction in the case of agricultural and food companies in Vojvodina, Serbia.

A total of two models were applied in this study: the Altman’s Z’-score model and the Kralicek’s Quick test. The Altman’s Z’-score model results obtained indicate that the micro-sized agricultural companies were at greater risk of bankruptcy, whereas the small- and medium-sized companies were found stable.
